Senior Quality Engineer
We are looking for a Senior Quality Engineer to develop and execute exploratory and automated tests to ensure product quality.

You will be responsible for leading and mentoring the other QAs while enforcing the QA standards. In addition, you’ll be the “Go-To” person for coding problem solving and technical irregularities. You should have strong experience across functional (FE, BE, and API) and non-functional testings (Stress, Load, Usability...).
This role plays an important part in our company’s product development process. Our ideal candidate will be responsible for conducting automated and manual tests before product launches to ensure software runs smoothly and meets the company needs while being cost-effective. If you hold an engineering background and enjoy providing end-to-end solutions to software quality problems, we’d like to meet you. Ultimately, you should monitor all stages of software development to identify and resolve system malfunctions to meet quality standards.
